Why would Edge want to be traded from the most prolific offense in football?

That's a healthy contract for Pace...it better be a front-loaded contract because I can't see him playing for more than another 3 years.

IMO, Edge probably wanted to be traded because he wants a 5 year deal so he's gauranteed bonuses and such. With the focus on Manning and Harrison, it's not his show and I think he wants to be the feature guy. *I'm not a fan of Edge*[/u]

Pace definately did get a HEALTHY contract with a $15 MILLION signing bonus. We're talking about a tackle here.

That's even more ridiculous than Jonas Jennings 7-year $36M deal with a $12M SB. Pace is the better tackle, but Jennings is about 2 years younger. Either way, both deals were stupid.

Pace is the best OT in the game. He would be worth every penny. Tackles play better when they have had some years on them, and the way he plays (using his hands and not much of his body)doesnt put much wear and tear on his body
